Description

Presentations are stereotyped. A speaker stands in front of an audience, uses PowerPoint to guide a talk. And says very little that departs from the slides being shown. Frequently, the speaker provides a handout or electronic version of the PowerPoint as a record of the talk. Depending on the nature of the talk, a few minutes may be left at the end for questions. This format is almost universal. And it takes place thirty to forty million times a day, according to some estimates. It’s led to a new expression … Death by Powerpoint … one slide at a time.  In this episode we speak with Eric Bergman who believes with a little less presentation and a little more conversation … we can make presentations more interesting, and ultimately effective. And we can relegate the term Death by PowerPoint to the dust heap of history. Guest: Eric Bergman, BPA, ABC, APR, MC, FCPRS fwiw@me.comFor a copy of One bucket at a time link here https://amzn.to/2HvnYmc

Communication is in every facet of our daily lives. In fact, if the ability to cooperate is what makes us distinctly different as humans, it's the ability to communicate that facilitates this. Is it any wonder communication has become a thriving profession? Those who succeed have the ability to persuade through public relations, government relations, media relations, crisis management, stakeholder engagement, marketing strategy, advertising, through all things strategic communications. They will create the websites and social media campaigns that influence us and the podcasts we remember. Doug Downs hosts this podcast about PR for those who do the work and those who hire the comms pros.
